| Abstract: |
A short (T50 = 350 ms, 80-300 keV) and hard (photon index of ~ 1, Ep ~ 400 keV) GRB020531 was detected by the HETE — 2 French Gamma Telescope (FREGATE) and the Wide-field X-ray Monitor WXM instruments. Spectral softening is seen in this burst and this property is similar to that of long GRBs. XRF010213 is the brightest X-ray flash (XRF) event detected by HETE — 2. There are two peaks in the WXM 2-18 keV light curve. The time average spectral analysis yields Ep for this burst of ~ 3 keV. According to this detailed spectral study, these two extremely different GRBs show spectral parameters and characteristics similar to that of the long bursts. This conclusion suggests that both short/hard GRBs and XRFs are closely related to the long bursts. |
